Chandler Simpson stayed hot with a second straight 3-hit game, lifting his average to .301 as the Rays shut out Toronto 4-0 to split the series. Baz spun five scoreless innings and the bullpen closed the door, with Lowe and Williams supplying early insurance and a fourth-inning homer to pad the lead.

Toronto’s offense stalled; Guerrero Jr. remains homerless in 12 games. Bassitt exited after 4 1/3 with three runs allowed. Rasmussen faces Boston next; Toronto heads to Kansas City to play Max Scherzer. Fantasy takeaway: Simpson’s pace keeps him a top-speed option, Lowe’s run production remains solid, and Williams offers power upside when Tampa Bay’s lineup clicks.

Anthony Rizzo retires as a Cub after 14 MLB seasons, closing a decade in Chicago with a Wrigley tribute, a ceremonial first pitch to Ian Happ and a celebratory bleacher cameo.

Happ praises his leadership; Rizzo jokes about Happ’s “dumper,” and Moisés Ballesteros’ first homer lands near his row. Rizzo’s Hodgkin lymphoma battle and the Anthony Rizzo Family Foundation’s $20M+ in pediatric cancer aid cap a career that featured 242 homers, 784 RBIs, three All-Stars and four Gold Gloves, plus stops with the Padres and Yankees.

Tampa Bay travels to Progressive Field for a rubber match with Cleveland, pitching Rasmussen against Cecconi in a high-stakes 1:10 PM EST showdown. Rasmussen carries a 2.62 ERA and a proven road presence, while Cecconi searches for consistency after a middling season. The latest lines show Rays -131 with a total around 8, signaling a tight, pitcher-friendly matchup.

From a fantasy angle, Rasmussen offers steady innings and Ks with a supportive Rays bullpen, while Cecconi’s efficiency will decide Cleveland’s ability to plate early. Park factors at Cleveland and recent trends—Cleveland slipping while Tampa Bay has momentum—give Rasmussen the edge for a value-win angle, with Cecconi as a riskier DFS pick.

The New York Yankees carry momentum after Tuesday’s nine-homer outburst, aiming to extend a 7-3 run as they welcome the Rays with Cam Schlittler on the mound. Schlittler carries a 3.94 ERA through six big-league starts, while Drew Rasmussen anchors a Rays staff operating under an innings limit but posting a 2.60 ERA in 2025. The tale on Wednesday shifts to control and early innings, with Tampa Bay a wary test for Schlittler and Rasmussen aiming to keep New York's power at bay in a pitcher-friendly setup at George M. Steinbrenner Field.
